Notes on using school buses

The school bus can be used by anyone who has completed the school bus usage application at the club reception.

When using the school bus, you can only get on and off on the days, times, routes, and stops that you have applied for.

Please note that you cannot board the tour on an individual basis, such as only when participating in a transfer tour or only when it is raining.

*If you ride the school bus, you will need to purchase a school bus reflective label at the club and attach it to your school bag.
Reflective bus label fee: 1,100 yen (tax included)

Important subjects

Precautions when getting on and off the train
  1. You cannot get on or off at any bus stop other than the one you applied for. Once you get off the school bus, please wait there until the bus departs.
    *Please inform parents that your child should be extremely careful as there is a risk of a vehicle jumping out in front or behind a stopped school bus and causing a collision with an oncoming vehicle.

  2. If your child is unable to get off at their bus stop on the way back (for example, they fell asleep and didn't notice, or they missed their bus stop), we will take your child on the school bus to the club. After the club arrives, staff will contact the parent/guardian to discuss how to proceed.
    *We will discuss whether the parent/guardian will come to pick up the child or whether the child will be picked up on the next available shuttle.

Notes and Guidance for Parents
  1. Please be sure to wait at the drop-off side when picking up your child.
    *If you wait on the opposite side of the road from the bus stop, your child may cross the road, which is very dangerous.

  2. Parents may only ride with their children during the toddler course hours.
    *When joining as a first grade elementary school student, a parent or guardian may accompany the child until they become accustomed to riding the bus. However, we may refuse this request if the bus is at full capacity.

  3. Please note that service may be suspended suddenly.
    *If service is suspended due to bad weather, breakdowns, road conditions, etc., we will notify you via our website, app notifications, and email distribution service.

  4. Various procedures for using the school bus *Applications for cancellation or changes to the day, time or route must be completed at the club reception by the 10th of each month.

Other notes
  1. After practice, please change clothes immediately and gather at the club entrance. In particular, if you are using a return bus, please be careful not to miss it.

  2. If your child suddenly has to miss the bus due to a parent or guardian needing to pick up their child, please be sure to inform the club reception before the school bus departs.

  3. Please note that if you do not follow the bus boarding rules, you will not be able to board the bus.

About using the online absence/transfer service
  1. If you will only be absent from school bus attendance, please register your absence online.

    *If you register as missing practice, your bus ride will be automatically canceled.
    *If you are not waiting when the bus arrives at your stop, you will be considered absent and the bus will depart.
